    Create a Contact from a received email, Win10 Mail App


    How do you add a person to your Contacts/People from their email?

    Until a few months ago , I could click on their icon or email address in their email to me, and it would be saved.

    Now, if I click on their email address, I just get an option to save the link. I have to manually add them as a Contact/Person.

    There are people I have received email from and sent email to, that are not a Contact/People. If I want to email them again, I have to find a previous email and copy their address: it's not on my computer and autocomplete doesn't work.

    I'm using Win 10 and everything is up to date.

    Bill

    Email contacts missing


    1. If you open Mail app and click the + sign for New mail > type first couple of letters of a contact name > will a list of suggested names appear ?

    2. Go to All apps > scroll to P > click People. Is the contact list there ?

    Win10 Mail - where's the address book?


    That’s now the People app. Create a Contact from a received email, Win10 Mail App :)
    If you know the contact's name or email address & they’re listed in the People app, you can start typing the first few letters of their name or email address and Mail for Windows 10 will suggest matching contacts.

    Mail App: Removing drop down email address suggestions

    I'm not a big fan of the MS Mail program and don't really use it for serious stuff but somehow or other if I create a new email then as I start to enter the recipients address a whole load of suggestions will appear. I don't have any contacts in the People app so I'm not sure where these come from.

    The question is how can I clear this list so that I no longer get the suggestions?

    Thanks
